I would like to see more power points installed around the walls where the study desks are on levels 3 & 4. With more reliance on computers this is becoming a necessity. There just aren't enough at present.

These are available as ebooks, but not hard copies. Is it possible to have the hard copies available as well? Its much easier when preparing new lectures to have the traditional versions to flip through and compare across textbooks.

I tried to log in library Apple desktops today and they were very slow. Once I chose to log in with the Windows system, the computers shutted down and restarted which took me lots of time.

Dear Anon
Thank you for your comments. The Graduate Economics and Business Library has 2 areas - Study space with group rooms and discussion spaces and the eZone. The eZone will be a quieter area to work but you might like to consider trying some of our designated "Quiet study" spaces in our other libraries on the St Lucia campus. Level 5 of the Duhig Building has individual study desks which you may find more suitable for quiet study or Level 4 of the Social Sciences and Humanities Library, Biological Sciences Library and the Law Library have some designated "Quiet areas" which you might find better to work in. These libraries also have individual study rooms which can be booked online.
The Study Space in the Graduate Economics and Business Library is not a designated "Quiet area" it was designed to be a space where groups can go to work together. I would encourage you to approach other students if they are being unduly noisy and ask them to contain their noise, explain that you are finding it very disruptive and you are also trying to work. I am sure they would be understanding. Also you may find the Graduate Economics and Business Library eZone is a quieter space to work than the study area.
If you would like to discuss this further please get in contact with me directly,
Karen Borchardt,

Hi,
I am after a document for research and can not request it online as database does not recognise UQ. The Journal is not available under journal search neither is that database it is located in (Sabinet). I have the details below for the document:
Heat acclimatization : preparing athletes to compete in hot environments
• Journal Title: International SportMed Journal
• Volume: Volume 1
• Issue: Issue 2
• Publication Date: 2000
• Authors: Phillip B. Sparling;
• ISSN: 15283356
• Abstract: Key concepts on heat dissipation in the exercising athlete and effective strategies on heat acclimatization and fluid replacement are briefly reviewed. Heat acclimatization refers to the adaptive process that occurs when a person moves from a cool to a hot environment; most of the physiological adjustments take place within the first 10 to 14 days. Hydration status can be followed by monitoring daily body weight, fluid intake, urine output, and urine color. For most sports activities, drinking about 1 liter per hour of a 6% carbohydrate-electrolyte sports beverage can provide adequate fluid and energy substrate to sustain exercise performance. This guideline should be individualized based on body size, sweat rate, and type and intensity of exercise. The importance of education in the prevention of heat illness among athletes and spectators is discussed.
Regards
Justin

Hello,
I was directed to this page by a librarian.
Architecture students regularly used a web site called http://www.nearmap.com/.
It is similar to google maps however contained updated and archived aerial photographs of areas in much better detail. Previously it was a free service, but just recently has been a pay only service.
I'm sure many other disciplines used this service for their studies and it would be a great asset for students.
Thanks

Most of the computer can be switched between apple Os and Microsoft, However there is no way to adjust the screen brightness in Microsoft OS.
The screen is actually too bright for me if I have to use Microsoft Windows. Hope the library and the IT department find a way to fix that.

It is always very very cold on the upper levels (especially on level 4) of Dorothy Hill library. You need to rug up a lot and it is very difficult to get comfortable and study at this temperature!
